Chapter 158: The Knight of Wands
"Bugs?" Zheng Qing paused for a moment, he raised his head and looked at his roommate, his tone was a little puzzled: "We ruled out this possibility yesterday? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile, feeling that he had told a very interesting meme.
But no one reacted positively to this.
Zheng Qing had no choice but to cough dryly, adding, "I know that the corpse beetle gnawed off half of that poor kappa, but what I want to know is who is the murderer who sucked the essence of the jade dish on the kappa's head and dried it up before these beetles." ā
"Bugs. Xiao Xiao repeated his answer.
His two elbows propped up on the table, his hands folded, his chin on the back of his hand, he looked at the fresh sunflower on the table with unfocused eyes, and said in a decisive tone, and said quickly: "You once met a crying kappa when you were on patrol, right, what did that kappa say?"
"Squeak...... Oh...... Yike...... Fat Xin suddenly stood up, and his voice sharpened to imitate the voice of a kappa.
The fat cat, who was originally comfortably nesting on the desk to take a nap, was startled by this ghost-crying wolf-like cry, his head suddenly raised, his two green eyes were round, and he looked around at the source of the abnormal sound.
The elves hula, and hid behind Zheng Qing.
Although it was creepy to hear, Zheng Qing was surprised to find that Xin's ghostly scream was very similar to Kappa's speech.
It's just that he still can't understand what the fat man is saying.
"It's kind of like that. Zheng Qing smacked his tongue and commented, "I must admit that you have a high talent for non-human languages. ā
"Where, where," Fat Xin waved his hand modestly: "My kappa language has only passed the basic level two, and I can only say some simple greetings." ā
Zheng Qing opened his mouth in a daze, unable to say a word.
The wizarding world is such a fucking world, and it can't be pleasantly complained about at all.
"You just mentioned," Xiao Xiao cleared his throat and re-escalated the subject, "the weeping kappa told the old schoolworker that his companion had been dragged away by a swarm of bugs. ā
His articulation is very clear and his expression is also very good.
Zheng Qing nodded quickly, and at the same time scooped the onion soup with a spoon and slowly sucked it.
"So, since there are eyewitnesses, the murderer can only be the group of bugs. Xin Fatzi hurriedly gave the final conclusion.
Zheng Qing frowned, his cheeks slowly squirmed, and he chewed the dry bread in his mouth.
Although there is no logical problem with this guess, in the wizarding world, it is precisely logic that is the most unreliable.
"According to your meaning, the murderer is another group of bugs?" Zheng Qing swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly.
Xiao Xiao still looked at the sunflower with her chin pinched, and did not make a sound immediately.
Xin Fat Man is fast.
"So, here's the problem. Zheng Qing slapped the table hard, scaring the fat cat that had just squinted awake.
Tuan Tuan looked at the few young students in front of the desk in annoyance, shook his beard, stretched, and finally ran out of the balcony and looked for a clean place outside the window.
"If the murderer was a bug, the old man of Verne could not have been unaware. Zheng Qing snapped his fingers and said quickly: "So what is he doing with so many traps by the lake? Don't tell me that he is really catching rabbits...... He also said that he wanted to catch a water ghost or a fish woman. I always thought the fish woman was suspicious. ā
"Perhaps Uncle Verne wasn't sure what the creature that harmed the kappa was. Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment and analyzed: "That's why he has so many sets on the shore of Linzhong Lake." ā
"The Fishwoman is a very rare creature. The Fat Man was clearly very interested in the other creature in the conversation: "Their blood is capable of concocting the antidote to more than a hundred wading spells...... Very, very rare. ā
The three freshmen discussed at their desks for more than half an hour, but in the end they still didn't get anything.
"There are still too few clues. Xin Fat Man stretched, stood up, and finally decided to end the seminar.
"Your time is up. Xiao Xiao looked at the time and reminded, "It's more than a little bit now." ā
"There's no rush, it's only five minutes at most to get from the dorm to the library. Zheng Qing waved his hand, as if remembering something, and looked around.
"Where's Dylan?" he finally asked a question that had been depressed for days: "There is something I want to ask him these days, but I can't see him all the time." ā
"What time is it today?" Xiao Xiao buried his head in his notebook and asked without raising his head: "Lunar calendar." ā
"August 15. Zheng Qing suddenly realized.
"As a roommate with werewolf blood, being close to the full moon and a little farther away from you is a responsible attitude for your life. Xin Fatzi patted the shoulder of the young public scholarship student and sighed.
Zheng Qing smacked his lips, and suddenly had a strong interest in the transformation of werewolves.
Of course, in the end, he did not take the spur of the moment to observe the difference between the werewolves on August 15 and the past.
There are more important things to do today.
Yesterday morning, he had received a paper crane from Yelena and made an appointment for tutoring.
Now, he needs to take care of his makeup and try to make a good impression in front of the goddess.
......
First University is a wizarding university.
Students come from all corners of the world.
As a result, the campus on weekends is filled with different styles and styles of clothing.
For example, the skirts of the Eastern Soil, the sari of Tianzhu, the writings of Yingzhou, the Hima Chun of Athens, the Toga and Para of Rome, and even the grass skirts of the Natives of South Africa, and the leather jackets of the Inuit of the Arctic Ocean, are dazzling as far as the eye can see.
Zheng Qing was wearing a bright red courtyard robe, which was particularly conspicuous among these figures.
"I thought you'd change into something more comfortable today. Elena looked at Zheng Qing with a smile. The sunlight fell on her white chin, which was particularly dazzling.
She was wearing a rust-colored bohemian dress today, and the slender folds at the waist did not affect the texture of the light tulle in the slightest. Large red waves draped over his shoulders, and he wore a white floppy hat with a wide brim. A delicate rose blooms in front of the hat diagonally.
"I thought I had to wear a robe in school. Zheng Qing looked left and right a little embarrassed, and his face turned red.
"The sun is so strong today. Yelena restrained her smile, lightly concealing Zheng Qing's embarrassment, grabbing her hat and fanning the wind casually.
A rich fragrance came to his face, making Zheng Qing feel suffocated.
"yes, yes. He replied in a daze, not knowing what to say.
This state of disillusionment came to a head after helping Yelena with her schoolwork for a while.
East of Shushan Building.
In front of the desk near the third floor-to-ceiling window.
A pair of young male and female students sit opposite each other.
The afternoon sun is extraordinarily warm, falling on the body, warm, as if soaking in the bathtub.
Zheng Qing's head struggled to maintain a stable state with the support of his arm.
However, the gravitational pull of the Earth is too strong.
Little by little, his head slid down his palms and fell towards the top of the table.
Then, suddenly, I woke up.
The gypsy witch on the other side looked at him with a mocking face.
"I'm sorry, I haven't been sleeping well at night lately, and I've always had nightmares. Zheng Qing's face was a little hot.
He rubbed his sour eyelids and wiped his cheeks, and the steaming shame on his face slowly decreased a lot.
"It doesn't matter. Yelena shook her head without mind, and said apologetically, "I didn't know you still needed to patrol last night......"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Zheng Qing was the first to express his attitude: "It's my honor to help you with Fu Zhengxue." ā
The young gypsy witch bit her lip and lowered her head.
Zheng Qing took a deep breath, regained his spirits, flipped through the book of Mankiw's "Principles of Rune Construction" at hand, and pondered the direction of the next step of reinforcement learning.
Then, a fair, slender hand reached out to his eyes.
Between your fingers is a tarot card.
Zheng Qing took the card curiously and turned over the flowers.
Knight of Wands.
Even in the dim interior, the crystal gems set on this card shine brightly.
Zheng Qing raised his head.
"For you," Elena added, looking at him with wide eyes, "this card is also an amulet...... As long as you pray sincerely for a few minutes every day before going to bed, this amulet will protect you from nightmares. It was taught to me by my teacher when I was a child, and it was very effective. ā
Zheng Qing had a happy smile on his face, but he still shook his head reluctantly.
"No, I can't. His tone was not so decisive: "Since it has been with you for so long, it must be precious to you...... And a deck of cards is incomplete without one. ā
"There's one card missing, and there's seventy-seven. Elena interrupted Zheng Qing's words, and her white little hand shook in front of his eyes: "This is used as a bundle for you to help me with my tuition...... If you refuse, then I'm going to be embarrassed to keep bothering you. ā
When Zheng Qing heard this, he immediately grabbed this tarot card.
It's a big deal to buy her a gift when I go back, and the young public scholarship student felt the temperature on the talisman and thought happily.
